LUXURY PROPERTY PORTUGAL

With hundreds of kilometres of stunning coastline, breathtaking nature reserves, a thriving arts and culture scene and wonderful friendly fishing towns, Portugal is a great place to explore. Portugal also offers some of the most beautiful locations to live and find holiday homes in Europe.

HOMEHUNTS  has split luxury property in Porugal into three areas: luxury algarve property, properties on the Silver Coast, and properties in the rest of Portugal. 

Although Portugal is a relatively small country, snaking along the West coast of Spain and looking out from the Iberian Peninsula onto the Atlantic Ocean, it has a rich and diverse selection of landscapes, and a fascinating history which has had a lasting impact on the culture of the country: Moorish and Oriental influences in architecture and the arts are prominent.

Furthermore, Portugal's impressive seafaring heritage produced some of the world's great explorers, including Vasco Da Gama, and wherever you are in the country, you're never too far from the shore.
Portugal's southernmost province, The Algarve, has become a very popular all year round destination for European tourists, many of whom own Portugal real estate or luxury Algarve villas.  

The Algarve, a brightly coloured region, with its fig trees, orange groves and almond trees in blossom, is also the most verdant and fertile. The southern coastline consists of a long stretch of fabulous sandy beaches, broken up by extraordinary rugged cliffs and fantastic grottoes. The Algarve is a very popular destination for tourism, primarily due to its beautiful secluded coves and great golden sandy beaches, the Mediterranean climate, safety and relatively low cost of living.

The climate in Portugal is ideal with over 3,000 hours of sunshine in a year more than nearly any other international resort.  In winter the sun and the moderating effect of the Gulf Stream contribute to conditions that would qualify as spring anywhere else.

The Portuguese people have a just reputation for friendliness and hospitality, making Portugal a wonderful place to set up home. Whether you want to find a villa on the coast or a house in Lisbon, there is plenty of property to choose from.

The range of different environments in Portugal means that there is a large choice of property and houses for sale, from luxury villas in the Algarve, to property in Lagos and to more modest apartments and luxury golf villas.
